When we were in London last week, I picked up a copy of the London Evening Standard (as you do.) It was free, and I thought it might be interesting to find out what the pulse of the Big City is like, being a confirmed Country Bumpkin. Didn't use to be such a Bumpkin, but 17 years living outside a huge city and you do view "the metropolis" differently than you do if you are in the thick of it every day.
Naturally, I went to the fashion page, to discover an article called "The Invisible Dress". Apparently, this is what we all need to get through the work week. We should wear a dress, because being just one piece, instead of separates, we can manage to put a look together.
Then there was a selection of quite pricey, quite baggy, non-descript clothes. Victoria Beckham's shift dress was the most form-fitting, and at £1050, the priciest.
Now, my reaction to this news (that I must have a dress, or it will just be TOO DIFFICULT to get dressed) must come as a result of not being in Fashion Central. But I did have to think, "if that is the most pressing thing you have to manage, perhaps you should give the work world a miss!" I mean, really.

Hmmm. I must get myself a big dress.
Bwa-ha-ha. Yes, I find it is terribly, terribly difficult to put on more than one garment. Thank goodness for The Dress!
What nonsense. That reporter needs to get another job. Or perhaps exaggerating is the "in thing"???
